Love making on the driveway.
They weren't concerned about privacy.
Not sure which species of Garden Skink.

Yep, I was thinking this species also, but played it safe to leave it to the moderators to identify.

Yes definitely delicata. Good call Kerri and Steve.
I agree that they look like they're mating due to the alignment of the hips. Observations of fighting tend to be more often witnessed with these small skinks but this is almost surely a mating event. Well taken Steve.
